Birthday Doll Begun

A sort of "tradition" on the yahoo group, Beaded Art Dolls --- or BAD as it is fondly called, is making/beginning a doll on your birthday. Well, today is my birthday and I did get the face on the body and a bit of beading around the face -- that counts for a start on my birthday. She will be my pick up and work on when I can doll -- different shades of turquoise will be the main color with purple accents (and maybe another color too). Not much to show tonight -- but for the record, I did get it started on my birthday, December 1, 2007.I was able to get a little more beading done on my birthday doll before midnight, December 1, 2007.

Sending you belated birthday wishes, Jackie!And I love your birthday doll you've started...are the little dots on her body printed in the fabric, or little beads?Her face with its neat beading is wonderful !!!

Phyl, the little dots are printed on the fabric -- it will be interesting to see how they bead over. Could just use a plain base for the dolls as it won't show anyway, but I love the cheeriness of the the fabric while I bead. I hope to get in beading time when we get back from brunch -- DH will be watching a football game (the Bears, of course) and we will have full tummies so I should be able to sneak in some quiet beading.
